I don't see how people can form a valid opinion about undeleting an article if they can't compare the original AFD/VFD against the article that was deleted. Temporary undeletion may even uncover additional research that could seal an undeletion without doubt.
There may be consensus to delete, but if the last vote went against consensus and provided a valid reason, the reason "AFD was valid" makes no sense at all.
I have been known to disregard "AFD was valid" as a reason for not undeleting. Then again, I'm also a firm believer in temporary undeletion of VFU articles so people can see what they're voting on, and usually do so when I'm actually looking at VFU.
